 Pope Francis’ moral analysis was informed by his experience of becoming a pastor and a public theologian during Argentina’s “Dirty War.” He knew the violence of autocratic regimes that disappear people who dissent, and he understood how their anti-democratic agenda was justified by neoliberal economic theory. He listened closely to the economists who tried to explain how policies that hurt people would benefit the nation, and he called their sophisticated talk “magical thinking."

Reverend William J. Barber II
